PCIe Design Guide- Q&A (Gen 4, 5, 6): Part 1

The PCIe Design Guide will answer common questions engineers have around designing high-speed PCB systems containing PCIe 4, PCIe 5, or PCIe 6 interfaces. These questions include:

  • How do vias affect high-speed PCIe signals?
  • What trace separation rules should be followed for PCIe?
  • What are best practices for breakout routing in BGA packages?
  • What routing topologies are recommended for PCIe lanes?
  • What layout priorities are critical for PCIe Gen6?
  • What PCB materials are suitable for PCIe Gen4, Gen5, and Gen6?
  • How does PCIe receiver equalization work and how is it different for PCIe Gen6?

To verify PCIe performance, Sigrity X includes compliance kits for PCIe 4, PCIe 5, and PCIe 6 automatically comparing simulated measurements to industry standard values with pass/fail results. Learn more about how to verify compliance with industry standards with Sigrity X here.
